Diagnosis

Species of Umbuquyra caxiuana gen. et sp. nov. are distinguished from those of the other species by the large and procurve fovea (Fig. 5C), male palpal bulb with a shortened and compact tegulum, a superior keel very evident being parallel to prolateral accessory keels (Fig. 28B). The female can be distinguished by a spermathecae with globular SR, close to each other emerging from a common base forming a V shape (Fig. 27D).

Etymology

The species epithet is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
